Planning and Managing Time / Personal Effectiveness - 5 March 2019 9.30 - 12.30

Overview

Managing time effectively is a challenge for most people as we cannot bank it or save it, just use it in the best way that we can. This is also made harder as we work in a fast moving, reactive and demanding environment.

This half day workshop considers the areas of planning our time through effective prioritisation and holding on to the planned time against the demands that are made of us by others. During the workshop you will have the opportunity to challenge yourself and commit to changes, with the discipline to make them normal behaviours.

The style of the session will be informal, participative and practical, focussing on the day to day challenges that you face. It will require you to undertake a small amount of pre-work as the focus will be on you and the specific issues/objectives that you may have.

Objectives

• Be more in control of your time
